The music business is confusing and overwhelming.

Every music creative needs help to understand the music business and set themselves up for a successful career in music.

music:defined works with music creatives on a 1:1 basis or in groups to help them understand their rights, how to get paid, getting their music on TV, working with others and making sure they understand where they stand in the industry, and what they need to do.

Being creative is one thing, but today every independent music creative is their own label, publisher, manager, marketing/PR, content creator, accountant and everything else needed for a career in music… music:defined is here to support every step of the way.
